HIGH FINANCE 
Minuet X Picardy 
(97 Days) . . . Smoky light orange with cream throat 
blotch. Light ruffling. An exhibition type spike that 
is hard to beat even when poorly grown. Our pre- 
diction is that this will be the heaviest winning smoky 
yet introduced when large bulbs are better distributed. 
We are holding a good stock to catch 1942 shows, 
feeling so cock sure of ourselves in its ability to 
snatch top ribbons. Customers who have bought 
even small bulbs are very extravagant in their praise. 
Too many good things cannot be said about this fine 
smoky. Study the cut in this catalogue and you'll agree
